Professor Fiendishs Book Of Brain-Benders

by Kjartan Poskitt, Philip Reeve

Criminal mastermind and evil genius Professor Fiendish has finally achieved his ultimate goal - a Murderous Maths book all to himself. And in a desperate attempt to warp the brains of readers everywhere he has filled it with utterly diabolical puzzles. Readers must pit their wits against their favourite arch enemy and take a trip to the Megavolt Vaults. They can try their hand at the Darts of Doom or play a game of Pass the Posion, before facing the ultimate horror - the bottom of Fiendish's fridge. Remember, it's not called Murderous Maths for nothing.

i have one of these books all ready! This one was given to me for signing up at the library for the holiday reading challenge. I have to read 30 minutes a day and report back to the librarians what I have read and what I liked. I think I will have to limit myself to just a few brain benders per day!

It's really fun and amusing. A perfect book for Murderous Maths fans (and those who are not)!
